We loved our stay at Ponder Cottages, it was a private and quiet oasis with only a few minutes walk to to the beach, surf breaks and restaurants. As a family of 6 our children all enjoyed there own bedroom and bathroom. There is a beautiful outdoor living area with an outdoor kitchen we made good use of, and crystal clear pool. Susan organsied our transport and ferry transfers which made things really easy. The staff at Ponder cottages were also really helpful, helped us book some trips and came in to tidy each day which was fantastic. I would definetly recommend Ponder Cottages if you are heading to Lembongan

Amazing! ☺Great villa! We were traveling as 2 families and used 4 rooms there. It’s a perfect location for chill stay on Lembongan, close to the beach, not so loud, many food options around. Thanks to Tika for all the help she provided during our stay. Villa also well equipped: there was drinking water supply, kitchen appliances, toys for the pool, washing machine with washing powder.

Ideal family accommodation ☺Stayed with 3 generations of family, ideal with 5 bedrooms and impossible to find. Met by owner who explained the area, local island culture and villa. Extremely clean and serviced each day by a lovely team led by Tika who gives great advice on local eateries, scooter hire, massage, shops etc. Beautiful clean pool, very private with comfortable communal outdoor area supplied with filtered water barrels. Ideal family set up. A sort 70m walk to beachfront and cafes. ☹While well serviced and pristine clean, be aware the bathrooms are very basic. Not a concern for our group.

This place is perfect! Great location half way between the beach and the main strip, both of which are only a short stroll away. Beautiful and quiet except for the odd rooster crowing in the morning which the kids loved!The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was ever too much to ask. It felt like our private home in paradise. Highly recommended

Fantástico ☺ Ponder was fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we had staff to help with our bags, make us feel welcome and show us around! Having a laundry was a bonus, plus loved plenty of hanging places for wet, damp things! Suited our family of 9 very well, the outdoor kitchen/entertaining/pool area is amazing and inside is very spacious and cool! Location is prime, and the host Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, friendly, helpful and gave us some great eating options close by! We would highly recommend, a perfect place to stay when visiting beautiful lembongon with a larger group or family! ☹ Cant really fault anything, everything is well thought out down to the smaller details!

Perfect location- right near the beach and easy to walk to everything. The hosts Mark and Susan were so helpful - organised the ferries over, day trips to Nusa Penida and snorkelling. We had 2 families with teenage kids (and older) and the villa was perfect - lots of room inside and outside, plenty of chairs and a huge table. The pool was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped (a blender!) and there was a washing machine. The staff came in each day to tidy which was fantastic.
